Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I'm tired of your selective facts. Australia's total GDP has been boosted by strong population growth, while GDP per capita has been much weaker in recent years. Stop pretending total GDP tells Australians how well they're actually doing. 000 0
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 04/07/2026The latest tax cuts are worth up to about $268 a year, not $2,800. If anyone is confused, the $2,800 figure includes more than just the latest tax cuts. 000 0

Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Governments have limited resources, they should prioritise investments such as public housing that reduce long-term housing costs and improve disposable income, rather than spending billions on programs that deliver poor value. 000 0
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Australia has comparatively strong budget metrics by IMF standards. Some government programs have been poorly designed or delivered and have wasted public money. Those aren't mutually exclusive. 200 2
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 02/07/2026First, don't call me "sweetie." Second, did you actually read what I wrote? I wasn't saying the tax cut was large. I said that when housing supply is constrained, increases in disposable income can be absorbed by higher rents or house prices instead of improving living standards. 000 0
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Buying homes you can barely afford doesn't increase disposable income. It often just transfers more of a family's income into housing costs. Making housing genuinely affordable would do far more for living standards than helping people stretch to a bigger mortgage. 000 0
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Building more public and affordable housing can permanently reduce housing costs for many households. Those households then have more money to spend on food, clothing, education, transport, recreation, or savings—instead of most gains being absorbed by housing. 110 1
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Governments want people to have disposable income because it supports the economy. But if housing costs consume an increasing share of wages, households don't feel wealthier despite tax cuts or pay rises. 110 1
Issy🐈⬛ @r1viera.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Investing in more public and social housing increases the supply of homes, which can reduce pressure on the housing market over time. Lower housing costs leave households with more money to spend throughout the economy, rather than having an ever-larger share of income tied up in housing. 000 0
